As someone coming from a broken family, let me tell you that if your dad found a second mum and those three live together peacefully it‘s a good result and just none of your business. Your parents so not exist to fulfill your expectations, you are a 30 year old person, not a child.
By the way, using your wife as an excuse for your moral expectations is childish.
“feel free to downvote into forever“ is super whiney and passive aggressive.
You are young, and - to me - you seem to be very self focussed. I think you should consider yourself lucky to have a job and a partner. Consider changing jobs if something more fulfilling is within reach that will not burn you out.
And see a therapist to help you sort yourself out. It really helps to understand oneself better.
- beej71 5y agoIn my experience, "you should feel lucky" doesn't carry weight. I've been absolutely miserably depressed in situations 98% of the world would consider blessed. I knew I should feel lucky. I was lucky. I had every reason to feel lucky. But I didn't. The answer for me was elsewhere.
- ashildr 5y agoMy point was not “if you are depressed, just start feeling lucky”. OP was writing about himself disapproving his parent’s relationship arrangements. This aspect is not depression, but entitlement.
